The Wnt pathway plays a crucial role in skeletal development and is indispensable for determination of OS cell lines. In recent years, experimental evidences on Wnt signaling pathway in OS cell lines and OS animal models, and that of Wnt signaling pathway as a diagnosis and prognosis marker of OS suggested that Wnt signaling pathway plays an important role in the progression, invasion and metastasis of OS. In addition, the strategy and safety evaluation to target Wnt to treat OS are underway. Exploring the significant role of Wnt signaling pathway in OS may aid in personalizing therapeutics to increase patient survival.

Objective To investigate the effect of Bcl-2 gene knockdown on apotosis , proliferation and drug sensitivity of gastric carcinoma HGC-27 cells. Methods The HGC-27 cells were divided into five groups:the untreated control group , the control siRNA group , the specific siRNA targeting Bcl-2 gene group , 5-FU treated group and the combination group (Bcl-2 siRNA and 5-FU treatment). Then flow cytometry and MTT assays were performed to detect the apoptosis and proliferation of HGC-27 cells. The cysteine protease activityand Cytochrome C release level were tested by ELISA method. Results Bcl-2 knockdown enhanced apoptosis and inhibited proliferation of HGC-27 cells. Comparedwith the 5-FU-treated group , the cell apoptosis level, activities of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9, plasma Cytochrome C were significantly increased in the combination group(P <0.01). Conclusion Bcl-2 gene knockdown induced apoptosis, inhibited cell proliferation and enhanced the drug sensitivity of 5-FU in gastric cancer cells , which might be considered as a potential therapeutic strategy forgastric carcinoma.

Objective To compare the prognosis effect of different Helicobacter pylori (Hp)eradication methods in patients with chronic gastritis.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with chronic gastritis diagnosed by gastroscopy and pathology examination were divided into sequential therapy group (36 cases),triple-combined therapy group (34 cases),Hp positive without eradication group (30cases) and Hp negative group (20 cases) according to the Hp infection status.All patients were followed up by gastroscopy,biopsy and rapid urease test before and after therapy.Results The Hp eradication rate in sequential therapy group was 94.44％ (34/36),in triple-combined therapy group was 73.53％ (25/34),and there was statistical difference (x2 =5.775,P =0.016).The symptoms scores and gastroscopy scores after therapy in the four groups were significantly lower than those before therapy,and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).The symptoms scores and gastroscopy scores after therapy in sequential therapy group were significantly lower than those in triple-combined therapy group,and there were statistical differences (P ＜0.05).The symptoms scores and gastroscopy scores after therapy in sequential therapy group,triple-combined therapy group and Hp negative group were significantly lower than those in Hp positive without eradication group [(0.84 ± 0.60),(1.34 ± 0.59),(1.49 ± 0.62) scores vs.(2.98 ± 0.54) scores,(0.47 ± 0.37),(0.83 ± 0.35),(0.96 ± 0.75) scores vs.(1.22 ± 0.40) scores],and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The Hp eradication rate of sequential therapy is higher than that of triple-combined therapy.The two therapy methods can both improve the symptoms score and gastroscopy score,but the symptoms after sequential therapy are relieved faster compared with triple-combined therapy.

The aim of this study was to determine the role of neutrophil collagenase in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury induced by endotoxin. 28 Sprague-Dawley were randomized into control group and LPS-enduced groups. Samples of left lung were obtained in 2 h (group L1), 6 h (group L2), 12 h (group L3) after intravenous LPS. Immunohistochemsitry was employed for detection of expression of neutrophil collagenase. Pathological scores, lung wet/dry weight ratio and the number of neutrophils were measured. The results showed that the concentration of neutrophil collagenase in LPS-enduced groups (group L1, L2, L3) were significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.01). Pathological scores, lung wet/dry weight ratio and the number of neutrophils in LPS-enduced groups (group L1, L2, L3) were also significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.01). Moreover, among group L1, L2 and L3, there were significant correlations in concentration of neutrophil collagenase and pathological scores, lung wet/dry weight ratio, the number of neutrophils (P<0.05). The present study showed that neutrophil collagenase play an important role in the pathogenesis and progress of endotoxic acute lung injury.

Glucocorticoids have remained important anti-inflammatory agents in the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD).However,the use of glucocorticoids can invoke or enhance insulin resistance,which is closely associated with renal injury and serves as an independent risk of the occurrence and progression of CKD.On the other hand,CKD patients may have insulin resistance,which hampers the use of glucocorticoids in these patients.

Serious troubles were caused by the highly heterogeneous cancer cells in clinical cancer treatment.In recent years,molecular characterization of tumors and corresponding individualized cancer management has become hotspots for cancer research.Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are shed from primary solid tumors or metastases into the peripheral blood.CTCs could serve as liquid biopsy for patients with cancer,with non-invasive,real-time and repeatable access.Serial monitoring of the amount and molecular characteristics of CTCs in the blood samples has significant clinical value for prognostic prediction,targeted drugs choice and real-time evaluation of clinical effectiveness in individualized cancer treatment.This review summarizes current methods for the CTC isolation and detection,and discusses the perspectives of CTC analyses in real-time personalized cancer therapy.Some future research directions in this field are proposed.

Sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE)is the most common form of encephalopathy in the pediatric intensive care units and might appear before other systemic features of sepsis.The pathogenesis of SAE is complex and not clear.SAE causes increased morbidity and mortality but has limited therapeutic options.SAE has become a hot issue in critical care medicine.
